SBS 2003 - .docx files forced to be saved as .zip file
whenever we email .docx or .xlsx files and try to save them they get saved as .zip. file. The content of the zip file is just bunch of xml files. I wonder what's the problem. The only thing that changed on the network was we installed BES 5 Express, but I'm not sure if that issue existed before and we just didn't run into it. Other files like .doc or txt work fine
Any help will be appreciated

I'm yet to get access to the server, it's a remote server, thanks for your patience

Update: upgrading to IE9 fixes that issue as well
and avoid this problem.
If you don't then the best solutions is to use Firefox instead of IE (which is a good idea for many reasons, including security). If you have to use IE you can do "save as" or rename the extension after download.
